Was the longbow behind the victory at Agincourt, or was it just that the English are better in mud? Did Queen Elizabeth I know the Armada had capitulated when she drafted one of history’s most inspiring speeches? Where did Wellington meet his Waterloo? Were the Falklands testament to Mrs Thatcher’s steel or a grasping, imperial folly? Veteran political reporter Colin Brown – a true expert in spin – travels to the places where history was made to unearth what makes Britain great.
